Oh yeah, the usual bollox - the car was weighted, fitted with an oversized wheel on one side and a modded diff, so it turned over with almost no provocation.
Reliant 3 wheelers are pretty fair game, but not for that reason.
Compared to almost anything, they are pretty slow (0-60 14ish seconds, 85mph flat out) but also up to 70mpg.
Get one old enough and free tax, or, if you're a real glutton for punishment, Reliants/Bonds can be MOT exempt.
The biggest handling issue is rear end breakaway, when they really want to pivot around the front wheel, so if you lose the arse (which isn't difficult) they can be a bit of a challenge to get back. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Good point, well made! Would be fun to throw around a field though. For a bit anyway, before the novelty wears off. ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

I realise they were taking the piss but they're unstable, my cousin turned over in one going through a big puddle I would not want to have an accident in one. |

I had one for a few years in my youth. That was on a bike license as well.
The engines in those were made by Coventry Climax. Little ally racing engines that you could get a multitude of tuning bits for at that time.
Mine got turned into a trike over night as I was being stalked by a police woman who hated me, knew I was driving it with no tax and insurance ( normal behaviour in the 70's ) had already been round my flat and the shop I had then, but didn't know about my lock up.
When she caught up with me it was just a chassis. 'Drive this Officer, no, never. not me.' ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I have one, it drives fine, people who bothered to attend the BBQ will attest that it's quite a good offroader. No they don't flip at the drop of a hat, just don't drive like it's a sports car. The are OK on the motorway if you stick to 60mph and don't go out on a very windy day as that makes them wander around as they are so light. They are pretty noisey at high speed, so not great for long trips. Insurance was a bit high, sureterm direct was the cheapest I could find.
All three wheelers are on the A licence, Reliant Robins, Rialto et all and were moved there in 2013. Anyone with a bike licence, no matter when you passed can drive any three wheeler.
There is no licencing difference between a car or bike based trike, that only makes a difference to the MOT.
If anyone you asks is old and mutters about the B1 licence, ignore everything they say.
